Get hands-on with ratios using this visually engaging worksheet. It first introduces the concept of a ratio, followed by exercises where pupils figure out the ratios from the given visual cues and simplify.

A ratio is a way to compare two or more numbers, showing how much there is of one thing compared to another. To write a ratio, you need two numbers and a colon. For example, if there are 3 apples and 2 oranges, you can write the ratio of apples to oranges like this: 3:2. This means for every 3 apples, there are two oranges. You can also say it as "3 to 2." Learning about writing ratios will help kids understand how two quantities or numbers compare. This basic concept is critical in many real-world problems, such as recipes.
